Adult orthodontics: confident smiles at any age

Whether you missed orthodontic treatment as a teen or your teeth have shifted over time, orthodontic care as an adult can deliver dramatic improvements in function, oral health and confidence.

 

At SmileLux, we provide discreet, modern and comfortable treatment options tailored to grown-up lives. With improved modern technology, you can enjoy minimal trips to our practice and solutions that fit social and professional needs.

Why consider orthodontics as an adult?

Why do so many patients love clear aligners? Here’s a look at some of the key benefits:

There are several reasons more adults are choosing to undergo orthodontic treatment. Modern orthodontic treatment is more comfortable, discreet and efficient than ever, and it can make a big difference in your health and confidence.

Orthodontic treatment helps correct crowding and misalignment, making teeth easier to clean and lowering the risk of gum disease and decay. A balanced bite can also reduce uneven wear, headaches and jaw discomfort. Best of all, it gives you a smile you can feel proud of.

At SmileLux, we offer a full range of orthodontic solutions to suit individual needs and preferences:

Adult orthodontic FAQs

Find answers to some questions that we are commonly asked by our adult patients:

There is no strict limit; adults of any age can be treated as long as their periodontal (gum and bone) health is suitable. We’ll screen for gum disease or other conditions and work with your dentist as needed.

Since adults already have fully developed jawbones and they no longer grow, sometimes their teeth move more slowly and treatment can take a little longer. This depends on the nature of orthodontic treatment required.

You can certainly whiten your teeth if you have had any kind of orthodontic treatment. However, we recommend that tooth-whitening be carried out following the completion of orthodontic treatment.

Treatment length depends on the problem’s severity and the chosen method. Typical ranges are several months to a few years. We will provide you with a personalised timeline during your consultation.
